Course Description
In using Python, you may need to compare one string to another, one number to another, or even two conditions. In this course, you’ll learn to use comparison operators in conditional statements and looping structures. You’ll also be introduced to arithmetic operators, which perform math problems; Boolean logic; and OR operators. Finally, you’ll explore basic “if” statements and the slightly more complex “if-else” statements, which test whether specific conditions are true or false.
What You'll Learn
- Recognize arithmetic and comparison operators in Python
- Use comparison operators in conditional statements and looping structures
- Apply Boolean logic and OR operators
- Compare strings, numbers, and conditions
- Write basic "if" statements and "if-else" statements
- Solve math problems in Python using arithmetic operators
Key Takeaways
- Comparison operators let you compare one string, number, or condition against another within conditional statements and looping structures.
- Arithmetic operators are used to perform math problems in Python.
- Boolean logic and OR operators allow you to evaluate combined conditions.
- Basic "if" statements and the more complex "if-else" statements test whether specific conditions are true or false.
Frequently Asked Questions
What topics does this Python course cover?
